Mala Educacion Almodovar
What can really be said of 'Mala Educacion'? This was not one of Almodovar's weakest scripts, unless emotion is a weakness. Moral ambiguity surrounds the story. Available now at AbeBooks.co.uk - 2004 - Torino, Einaudi, 2004, 8vo brossura con copertina illustrata, pp. Dec 21, 2004 In 'Bad Education,' he uses straight and gay (and for that matter, transvestite and transsexual) as categories which the 'real' characters and the 'fictional' characters use as roles, disguises, strategies, deceptions or simply as a way to make a living.
I've just thrown out the first 500 words of my review and am starting again with a sense of joy and release. I was attempting to describe the plot of 'Bad Education.'
It was quicksand, and I was sinking fast. You and I have less than 1,000 words to spend together discussing this fascinating film, and not only would the plot take up half of that, but if I were by some miracle to succeed in making it clear, that would only diminish your pleasure. This is a movie we are intended to wander around in. It begins in the present with a story about the past, presents that story as a film within the film, and then, if I am not mistaken, there is a paradoxical moment when the two categories leak into each other.
It's like ',' where the memories of one character curiously contain the memories of another. So there's 153 words right there, and my guess is, you're thinking the hell with it, just tell us what it's about and if it's any good. Your instincts are sound.
Pedro Almodovar's new movie is like an ingenious toy that is a joy to behold, until you take it apart to see what makes it work, and then it never works again. While you're watching it, you don't realize how confused you are, because it either makes sense from moment to moment or, when it doesn't, you're distracted by the sex. Life is like that.
La Mala Educacion Almodovar Sinopsis
The story, which I will not describe, involves a young movie director named Enrique () who is visited one day by Ignacio ( Bernal). Ignacio has written a story he wants Enrique to read. Enrique would ordinarily not be interested, but he learns that his visitor is the Ignacio – the boy who was his first adolescent love, back in school, and that the story is set in their school days and involves Ignacio being sexually abused by a priest at the school. Indeed, he permitted the abuse in order to get Enrique out of some trouble: 'I sold myself for the first time that night in the sacristy.' That is all of the story you will hear from me, although to fan your interest, I will note that, an actor who is turning out to be as versatile as, portrays a drag queen in the movie, and does it so well that if he had played Hephaistion, Alexander would have stayed at home in Macedonia, and they could have opened an antique shop, antiquities being dirt cheap at the time. Almodovar loves melodrama. 'Lurid' for me is usually a word of praise. Xlstat free trial.
